Guy discovered that a breaker had been tripped. While there, Guy also checked everything out to confirm whether there would be a future problem. I was charged only for the service call.
Description of Work: Guy made a service call to one of my properties to check an electric problem reported to me by my tenants. They said the electricity to the washing and dryer was not working, and that no breakers had been tripped.

We called and a nice guy picked up the phone. He was immediately patient and helpful as a told him what we needed done. He knew everything I was talking about and suggested options over the phone. It worked out that he had an electrician who could come over and start work within 2 hours. The electrician was super knowledgable and experienced. He looked at the work we needed done and gave us a reasonable estimate. He talked us through each work item letting us know what our options were. For example, our kitchen light switch was getting hot after being on for a while. He said it was the dimmer option, and we could either install a higher rated switch or make it non-dimmable. A lot of our electrical was done by the previous homeowner. When in our attic he pointed out some wiring that wasn't to code. We appreciated it him letting us know, and we had that fixed also. We had more work than they could do in one day so he came back the next day with a helper. They were right on time, professional and very experienced. The charges were extremely reasonable considering how much work we had done. Next time we need any electrical work help, we will definitely call Swenson Electric.
Description of Work: Swenson did a lot of work for us. They installed an outside outlet, added an extra hallway light fixture, additional breakers, fixed a broken outlet and more.

Guy provided an estimate over the phone and it was reasonably close to the final total. Swenson was able to get to us promptly after we asked that they do the work. Casey and David were on time, professional in appearance, very pleasant to deal with and communicated with us well during the process. They showed us the options available to us for placement of the fan and did as we asked on venting the unit. They cleaned up after themselves well and were done in under 2 hours. After they departed, we noticed that while in the attic, they had apparently stepped on a sprinkler head fitting and caused it to drop quite a bit from the ceiling and separate from the trim piece around it. However, I was able to get it more or less back where it belonged after climbing into the attic and working with it for a while. I did not report this issue to Swenson, but I am sure they would have returned to straighten it out had I asked them to do so. It is often hard to tell where you are stepping in an attic full of insulation. We will not hesitate to call them for future electrical work.
Description of Work: Swenson installed a bath exhaust fan for us in a spare bath which had not previously had a fan.

It was a wonderful job. They were very punctual, professional, and courteous. It was just a great experience. They did honor the quoted price that they had given to us for the job. The guy and his crew were above and beyond and I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They rewired my kitchen for a double oven and a microwave. Also, they wired for under cabinet lighting. They wired for an island light and a pendant light. They installed another circuit in the kitchen. In the bathroom they installed a vanity light. They went through the rafters to thread satellite cable. They also installed two sconce lights, an entryway light and a dining room chandelier. They installed two pendant lights in the bathroom too.

The first time we used Swenson we had nothing but compliments. However, I called them back because we were experiencing problems with our X10 and pool light. They quoted $800-$1,000 to fix the issues due to the fact it was faulty wiring from our landscape contractor. I called the landscape contractor and he agreed to fix the work so I didn't need to use Swenson. I was then charged $131.14 because "they had to send out 2 electricians to diagnose the problem and that's billable time". I never have been charged for estimates and thought this was unfair.
Description of Work: 1st Time - Installed outdoor plug for RV hookup and standard outlet. 2nd Time - Came out to quote price to fix pool light and X10 problems.

We obtained the recommendation of this company from Angie's List. From the moment of the phone call to 24 hours later when our work was complete, the experience with this company was excellent. On the introductory phone call, he discussed options and gave an estimate of costs without seeing the job. When my husband called the next morning to enlist his services, he returned the phone call within minutes. He found time in that exact day schedule to solve the problem. He arrived on time and completed the job in an hour.
Description of Work: Guy Swenson, himself, responded to our call immediately. In order to replace our dishwasher, we needed to reduce the size of an electrical box that was preventing the new tub size from being inserted to its entire depth. He was extremely prompt, offered options and brought the necessary materials when he came to inspect the job. He provided us an estimate that was exactly the price charged. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and prompt. He removed the old electrical box, replaced it with one that was shallow and rewired as necessary.

We live in an old house circa 1950. We had two recessed lighting cans in the office that were potentially unsafe. We had Swenson's replace them with very safe canisters. Also, an electrical outlet in the wall was constantly sparking. The electricians examined the wall wiring and the outlet and replaced the wiring with updated components. The two electricians were at our home for 1 1/2 hours. There were extremely efficient, professional, and trustworthy! I highly recommend this company!!!
Description of Work: Recessed lighting replaced; electrical outlet repaired for safety.

He was there on time, knew exactly what to do and did it. He answered some questions about other electrical problems in the house, offering simple solutions which may in the long run save us more money. He charged us less than we had expected, and no trip charge because he was very close. A fine electrician and just the kind of guy you always like doing business with. We'll call him again when we need electrical work.
Description of Work: My husband wanted to replace old, buzzing fluorescent fixtures. Simple, he said, but when he flipped the switch, they didn't go on. Hours later, he was still in the dark. Clueless. I called Swenson Electric, which booked us for 6:30AM the following morning (so my husband could still get to work on time).

He is professional and on time. He was very nice. He is very knowledgeable about what he was doing.
Description of Work: He installed a new timer switch for the swimming pool. It was a complicated wiring job. There are three boxes. One is attached to the motor, so he has to be careful. They don't make the same timers, so it was a new brand. He had to do a lot of mechanical work to get the wires to fit this particular switch.

Mr. Swenson called to set an appointment when he said he would. He worked with me on a date when I could be home and arrived on time on that date. All work was performed as requested. He worked steadily and completed the work in a reasonable amount of time. He had parts that were needed. He cleaned up after completing each task on my list and even offered to rebury the wiring lines that my landscapers had pulled up after he repaired the wiring. I had a lamp that I asked him about as he was leaving -- he said he could take it back and fix it; he did so and returned it in working condition the same day.
Description of Work: Mr. Swenson repaired the wiring for my outdoor lighting, replaced the switch for an overhead lighting fixture in the master bedroom, repaired a lamp, repaired the switch on a fluorescent lamp, replaced porch lights that had broken bulbs stuck in them, and advised me on the safety of a couple other electrical items.

It went very well. We contacted Guy to set up an initial day of service (two weeks out). He said he would contact us the day before to confirm the time, which he did. Guy showed up 10 minutes early and went straight to work replacing the smoke detectors. We discussed the placement of the light fixture and Guy made a couple of recommendations which were good. Two other electricians (Casey & Dave) arrived to install the wiring, light fixture, and dimmer (touch up painting around the dimmer was also done). It took them 3.5 hours each (Casey & Dave) to complete the installation, which also required putting the fixture together and included clean up. While it might seem like 7 man hours is excessive to wire and install a light fixture, I have something to compare it to. My father (semi-retired builder) installed the same light fixture over our kitchen table to replace an existing fixture (no new wiring required) and it took him about 8 hours.
Description of Work: Guy replaced 6 hard wired smoke detectors (which we provided) as our old ones had been recalled. We also had them install a five pendant light fixture over our kitchen island, which required new wiring and a dimmer.

My wife and I couldn't be happier - His crew started on time and finished all the work without taking a break for lunch. Guy and his workers were professional and efficient. If you need electrical work of any kind, this is the company to call
Description of Work: We had several jobs for Guy's team to complete - First he ran a new dedicated power line (110v 15 amp)for our tank less water heater. He also installed new light fixtures and repaired the non operating lights in the garage. They added a dedicated outlet for the garage door opener. He trouble shot and repaired several non operating plugs in our dining room and HVAC utility closet. His crew also moved the 220v dryer outlet and installed a new 110 outlet for our washing machine. All the parts and fixtures used were top quality. Guy's estimate for the work and supplies was exact!!
